Energy-Efficient Product Solutions

Whether your need is for extended battery life, portable performance, reduced energy costs or compliance with energy standards, the Energy-Efficient Solutions mark highlights selected products that excel in effective implementation of energy-efficient technologies and/or deliver market-leading performance in the application spaces they are designed to address. As a leader in embedded energy-efficient solutions, Freescale is enabling a new generation of applications that achieve reduced energy consumption while continuing to meet the demand for increased performance and functionality.

Energy Efficiency Target

There is no single power reduction technique that is able to meet all the system requirements for energy minimization. The trick is to effectively combine architectural, platform and circuit techniques, system and application software, process technology and design methodology and tools to intelligently develop semiconductor designs that deliver the highest possible performance levels within a restricted energy budget. The Freescale Energy Efficiency Target illustrates how these technologies and techniques are integrated into the full development process designed to achieve optimal energy efficiency.

Featured Product Solutions

Our products are truly energy efficient by design. To guide you to the right product for your design needs, look for the Freescale Energy-Efficient Solutions mark. It designates products whose implementation of energy or power management technologies and/or performance within a specified energy budget over the life of the application is truly optimal and/or best-in-class.

6us wake up time allows an application to wake up, perform task and quickly go back to sleep, thus saving power.

CPU and peripherals can run with the voltage regulator in low-power mode to allow full functionality at reduced frequency for lower power operation.

User–selectable peripheral clock gating saves power in run and wait modes.

Ultra-low-power, real–time counter can be used with low-power oscillator, internal or external clock sources in run, wait and stop modes.
